Chicken chili is sometimes called white chili. There are many styles to fix, and sometimes this style contains little, or no, tomato juice. It commonly contains noodles, as well as chicken, to reinforce the lighter color choice. In some ways, lighter colored chili is more filling in smaller amounts and often has fewer spices. A good gentle chili for people with allergies and who have recently been ill. Sometimes, this style of chili is even served cold in the summer. An easily adjustable recipe, add or subtract ingredients as desired. Gluten free cornbread or crackers also add flavor and texture.
